Joint Chiefs of Staff say no change on transgender service members at this time
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday said the U.S. military will not make any changes to its transgender policy until President Donald Trump clarifies what he meant in a series of surprise tweets on Wednesday that appeared to reverse the year-old decision under President Barack Obama to allow their service.
“I know there are questions about yesterday’s announcement on the transgender policy by the president. There will be no modifications to the current policy until the president’s direction has been received by the secretary of defense and the secretary has issued implementation guidance,” Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said in a memo to military leaders.
